Goals

This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about one surname and the variants of that name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect.

The other goal of this study is to determine if the William Lacy or Lacey line and the Thomas Lacy line are one in the same. Records are scarce and hard to find. The Virginia Counties of New Kent, Monroe, Goochland, Greenbrier, Johnson, Hanover, Brunswick and Lunenburg are a main focus of this study. See Resources

Task List

1) Help source early Lacey / Lacy Wikitree profiles. ( you will likely need the pre 1700 certification for this task)

2) Help connect profiles thru YDNA matches. (Mine is in progress and should have the results in a couple of weeks)

3) Discuss the commonality or naming patterns in the various Lacey / Lacy family lines.

Naming Patterns

My T Lacey / Lacy line naming patterns include Philemon, Alexander, David, William James and John just to name a few.
